Produced by a task group of teachers and careers advisors in East Sussex as part of the Year 9/10 Careers Guidance Initiative and trialled in schools, this pack for Year 9 contains material on a range of activities. The pack covers the following areas: finding out about yourself - helps students to develop a greater self-awareness, analyze their skills, qualities and interests and plan for change in the future; making decisions - helps the students develop the skills to make effective decisions; using your careers library - helps students develop the skills to use the range of careers information; options - helps students consider and make choices and become aware of the implications of choice; and widening horizons - helps students to look at their perceptions of "work", explore gender stereotyping and increase awareness of part-time work. The resource is contained in an A4 ring-binder which provides flexibility for teachers to add their own material and select the exercises they wish to use with their pupils. The students' activity sheets are copyright free to the purchasing teacher.
